how do you worl linear equations and the intercept form??
I assume you meant to write:
<<How do you work linear equations and get the intercept from them? >>
Rewrite the equation in the form
y = m x + b
"b" is the value of y where the line intercepts the y axis (where x=0) .
To find the intercept from a linear equation, you need to rewrite the equation in the form y = mx + b. The variable 'b' represents the y-intercept, which is the value of y when x = 0.
Here are the steps to find the intercept form of a linear equation:
1. Start with the given linear equation in standard form, Ax + By = C, where A, B, and C are constants.
2. Solve the equation for y to make it y the subject. This means isolating the y term on one side of the equation.
3. Once you have the equation in the form y = mx + b, identify the coefficient 'm' as the slope of the line.
4. The constant term 'b' represents the y-intercept. It is the value of y when x = 0.
5. Plot the y-intercept on the graph by marking the point (0, b).
By following these steps, you can find the intercept form of a linear equation and determine the value of the y-intercept.
